Tribunals

Government urged to reconsider employment tribunal fees plans

The government has been called on to reconsider its plans to reintroduce employment tribunal fees by 48 organisations including the TUC, Citizens Advice, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Fawcett Society, Maternity Action, Women’s Budget Group and Liberty. In 2017, after Unison brought a legal challenge, the Supreme Court quashed the previous tribunal fees regime because it “effectively prevents access to justice and is therefore unlawful.”
